The Royal Bengal Tiger (/ðə ˈrɔɪəl ˈbɛŋɡəl ˈtaɪɡər/) is a 2014 Indian Bengali-language surrealist psychological thriller film co-written and directed by Rajesh Ganguly, from a story by Neeraj Pandey.

Also drawing influences from Bhagavata Puran, the film stars Abir Chatterjee, Priyanka Sarkar and Shraddha Das in lead roles, with Jeet himself in an extended special appearance. The film received positive reviews from critics and turned out to be commercially successful. The film has only one song, sung by Timir Biswas. The film premiered in Kolkata on 1 February 2014.
